    • I know this is an old post, but I am trying to do some koozies, and have found that when I press them they are getting shinny like the ones in this photo. Is there a way to eliminate that? I am at the lightest pressure I can be. I have thought about learning to screen-printing just to avoid this. There is an attachment I can buy for my press that is for koozies, so there has to be a way to do it with out being shiny right?

    Yeah if you can convince them to that in order to get a good look they need to use a white polyester shirt it's fantastic. There are some thicker than normal options out there that don't feel too bad and aren't see though.  If you haven't done sublimation it enters completely into the poly fibers and there is zero hand it's pretty awesome. I had troubles with dark navy blues coming through as dark as I wanted for a particular client but I went the cheaper Epson printer way and it may have been that choice which caused me trouble. As long as the colors weren't too bold it was real handy for certain applications. 

    I will have to look into the thicker brand. I am not to found of the see through ones that I got!

    Thank you Wildgoose. Looking more into it, it seems to be more of a 2 step transfer paper type of thing. It isn't like the jetpro but it doesn't seem like the ink actually goes into the shirt like regular sublimation paper. I could be wrong , still looking into it. I have a few people that want pictures and designs that is just easier doing this way then with vinyl.

    Hello,

    I am venturing into the sublimation side of the business. I have been reading several posts on here about different techniques etc. One thing I have thought I learned from here is that in order to sublimation on clothing it has to be at least 65% polyester and white or silver. Now I find at UScutter this FOREVER Subli Flex 202 Sublimation Paper for Dark and Cotton Garments. Has anyone tried this with any luck? I would still be willing to use the polyester blend if it actually works on darker colors.  If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate your feedback before I might waste my time and money! 

    Thank you,

    Christi

    Thank you so much! I just purchased a new computer and couldn't find a link that would. I think I also read that it wouldn't work with windows 10. Your link worked perfect for me! I so didn't want to have to learn a new cutting software when I have been using SB for years.

    I have been looking in Dafont.com for hours. I have also looked in myfont.com and it can't find this one. I don't know if they added the tails to the first and last letter? Thanks for the help.

    That printer says it's not capable of photo prints so I am pretty sure that means it will not run the pigment based inks. So no I think the pigment ink would clog up immediately as pigment ink has suspended solids in the ink where regular office printing dye ink does not. 

    Thank you.

    I know this is an old post, but the only one I found talking about the smaller epson printers. I have the wf1100 and it is clogged to no fixing it due to a move and it being in storage. I am looking into getting another printer to replace. It wf1100 is no longer available. Can any inkjet printers use the pigment ink? It looks like for the wider/longer printing options out there now are the wf 7710 and 7720? Has anyone seen or tried out the ecotank et2720? it has no tanks? Could you just put cobra ink in there? 

    Thanks,

    Hi Everyone, Thanks in advance for your help. 

    I know that I have seen this on here before, but I can not find it. I am trying to do a transfer and vinyl on the same shirt. I know I need to put the transfer on first since it is a hotter temp. My question is do I press it for the full time and then put my vinyl on? would it ruin the transfer?

    Thanks,
    Christi

    Thanks for replying, I talked to HTW to see about the vinyl sticking. They suggested that you should use rubbing alcohol on a cloth and rub it on the area that is going to have it on and it should be okay. I am not sure if that would take away the sealant? Maybe I should tell them to get me different ones. :(

    Hi everyone,

    I have searched this topic and also have been trying to go through all the threds to see if it has been posted before. I have some carhartt water repellent hoodies. They are cotton and poly blend but they fill a bit hard on the outside. Can use HTV on these? Will the heat hurt them? 

    Thanks!

    I have this vinyl that I received a free sample. It is for printing on and then applying to banners etc. It isn't sihl. It is more textured and once it is on something you can just move it and it will still stick! Does anyone know what this vinyl is called and where to order it? I lost the piece that had all that information on it. 

    Thanks,
